Trouble receiving WebService SOAP XML response in PHP
From my PHP program, I am successfully able to send a SOAP/HTP request to a remote server. Using wireshark/etheral, I confirmed that the expected response is being obtained from the remote server. Using SoapUI and wireshark/ethereal , I further confirmed that request/response in SoapUI and wireshark are exactly the same.
However, in my PHP program I am not receiving the SOAP response.
Please review the code snippet and comments and advise.
Thankyou

The URL of the WSDL is:
http://stage.valuetopup.com/posaservice/servicemanager.asmx?WSDL
PHP Version is 5.3.1
Here is the file produced using wsdl2php.
Now you can ...
try

$sm = new ServiceManager

$wsdl = "http://stage.valuetopup.com/posaservice/servicemanager.asmx?WSDL",
$options = array
(
'encoding' => 'ISO-8859-1',
'exception' => True,
'trace' => True,
)
);
$sm->xxx(yyy,zzz);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
die($e->getMessage());
}
where xxx are methods for the service.
No XML, SOAP, or anything complicated.

Prior to running this code, in php.ini, I uncommented the following line:

Can you take out the $sm call?
So, just include the ServiceManager.php script.

I disconnected the VPN client and am able to instantiate the ServiceManager Class.
Per Authentication requirement of the Service Provider from their documentation:
The userid and pw are passed to a web service through the web service header. In most cases the proxy generator should generate the "AuthenticationHeader" class from the wsdl specification and the developer should be able to set that header in the code. The XML payload of the authentication header is as follows:
<AuthenticationHeader xmlns="http://www.pininteract.com">
<userId>user123</userId>
<password>pass123</passwor
</AuthenticationHeader>
So the SOAP header for each call needs to include the above payload.
In the manual approach that I was taking earlier, I was creating the XML (Envelope+Header+Body) as follows:
$xml = '
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:pin="http://www.pininteract.com">
<soap:Header>
<pin:AuthenticationHeader>
<pin:userId>user123</pin:u
<pin:password>pass123</pin
</pin:AuthenticationHeader
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<pin:GetCarrierList>
<pin:version>1.0</pin:vers
</pin:GetCarrierList>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
';
Using SoapUI and Wireshark, I verified that the Request was composed correctly and the expected response was coming back (the problem was that PHP was not processing the response).
Per one of your appends above, with the suggested method, we need to do the following:
$sm->xxx(yyy,zzz);
where xxx are methods for the service.
So how can I meet the Service Provider requirement of having the authentication header in the soap Header section for each Service Method Call ?
Thanks

The class ServiceManager is a subclass of SoapClient.
SoapClient has a method called SoapClient::__setSoapHeade
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.setsoapheaders.php#93460 has some notes regarding a more complex usage.
I've not used SoapHeaders in my work. If you can give me a few minutes, I'll construct something for you to test.

So, setting the header SHOULD be (see snippet).Once you've set the header, you should be able to make the xxxx calls.Hopefully something along the lines of (see snippet).UNTESTED!!!! May have typos - it is late for me (10 past midnight).Hopefully this will at least help you get some of the way.One thing that is different here is that the request/response are objects in their own right. I've always felt that that method was a bit cumbersome.So, you had to do ...$request = new request;$request->param1 = value1;$request->param2 = value2;$service->method($r

I tried the logic as per your append above and get an XML exception. Wireshark trace file review of the request and response shows an issue/problem with the XML header. Kindly take a look at the attached files:
test.php: PHP program as per logic provided in you append above
test-original.php: PHP program with the original logic that I was trying
wireshark-ReqResp.txt: Wireshark trace file showing the Request and Response packets obtained by running the above 2 test programs
In the test-original.php, I am creating the xml manually and the the correct response is coming back, however PHP is not being able to process it.
So using your technique, we need to make the XML request to be exactly the same as what is in the test-orignal.php and the wireshark trace file for the original test scenario.
The 2 PHP files have the valid userid and password, so you can run them in your environment to submit the requests.
Thankyou

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/soapheader.soapheader.php#88527 seems to comment on this specific issue. It seems .NET doesn't like to build from key/value pairings.
I'm not able to look any further on this until Tuesday (evening travelling, wedding tomorrow, recovery and travelling Monday - not my wedding, so you don't need to send a card or anything).
A simple class like ...
class AuthenticationHeader {
public $userId = '123user';
public $password = '123pass';
}
and then use ...
$sm->__setSoapHeaders
(
new SOAPHeader
(
'http://pininteract.com',
'AuthenticationHeader',
new AuthenticationHeader(),
false
)
);
Maybe.
Please have a play with this. I may have some more time in a couple of hours ... sorry for dropping it for a few days.
If you don't get anywhere and need some more help, then certainly try the "Request Attention" option.

Hi, Per your append above, I placed the following lines in ServiceManager.php:
class AuthenticationHeader {
public $userid="ites";
public $password="Vikram123";
}
In the php file, I did the following:
$sm->__setSoapHeaders
(
new SOAPHeader
(
'http://pininteract.com',
'AuthenticationHeader',
new AuthenticationHeader(),
false
)
);
I still get and Exception message. In the Header, I see only the password field being passed. Given below is the information from the Wireshark trace:

Case sensitive I think.

Can you supply the working request (via wireshark) so I can see what is different.
The namespaces are not important (as far as I know), but they do need to point to the right place.

Given below is the wireshark trace of the scenario where I am manually composing the xml header in the PHP code - The expected response is coming back, however PHP is not processing it . One of the differences is that the Content-Type is specified as below:

Also, perhaps the namespace values could be an issue.

Probably not an issue. Can you change the SOAPHeader from http://pininteract.com to http://www.pininteract.com. They are the same in the working example.

In the new SOAPHeader, I changed new(AuthenticationHeader) to $AuthenticationHeader and the userid & pw is getting passed.The correct Request is being generated and the expected response is coming back.
In the wireshark trace, BEFORE the POST, I also see a GET message being sent. Why is the GET being sent ? Should this be a concern ? When the XML header is created manually (details in earlier appends), this GET is not there.
2.
Please provide pointers on how to process the Response. Given below is partial info from a response:
stdClass Object ( [carrier] => Array ( [0] => Carrier Object ( [carrierId] => 8 [carrierName] => ATT [category] => Pin ) [1] => Carrier Object ( [carrierId] => 9 [carrierName] => Boost [category] => Pin ) [2] => Carrier Object ( [carrierId] => 11 [carrierName] => TMobile [category] => Pin )
The information of interest in the above is: carrierid-8; carrierName-ATT; category-Pin

For future WSDL's, I need to be in a position to be able to generate the ServiceManager.php on my own
I came across the following link:
http://labs.wso2.org/wsf/php/wsdl2phptool.php
When I use the ServiceManager.php generated by the above link, I get a
Class 'WSClient' not found error message.
Please advise on the best way to be able to generate the ServiceManager.php file.
Thankyou

Thankyou for the solution, and I am glad that it will be useful for your work.
1.
Please clarify the root cause of the issue. My understanding is that wsdl2php creates a local proxy / class, which are used by the client and facilitates the interaction with the Service Provider.
The earlier approach that I was taking involved creating the XML manually, opening a socket connection to the service provider, do a post and process the response with fgets(). Per the wireshark trace, the request was being properly created and the expected response was coming back. So why does fgets() not process the response ? And why does wsdl2php based solution not have the issue that fgets() has ?
2.
At the command prompt on my WinXP system, I typed the following:
wsdl2php.php http://stage.valuetopup.com/posaservice/servicemanager.asmx?WSDL
and Microsoft Expression Web, which is installed on the system, starts up and loads the php file.
I then loaded the wsdl2php.php file into Netbeans and could not find the way to specify the WSDL as a parameter.
Please advise.

1 - You were not detecting the end of transmission appropriately. But also, in general, you were doing things the hard way. The very very VERY hard way.
The wsdl2php solution just produces a set of classes which utilises the SoapClient class built into PHP. The wsdl2php script doesn't actually communicate with the service. It just uses a URL parameter to read the WSDL file. From there it is just plain text and xml manipulation.
2 - You will need to have PHP installed and accessible via the command line.
Read the following manual pages
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.commandline.php <<<< VERY IMPORTANT ONE!!!
The wsdl2php script is a command line script. You supply the WSDL url to the command line.

Yes, the technique taught by you is what I will be using in my current and future work related to Web Services development in the PHP environment.
For future reference, could you briefly explain why fgets() was not detecting the end of transmission appropriately. For file i/o it seems to work fine.However, per your above append there seems to be issue with fgets() when used with socket i/o.
Thankyou very much for your time and effort and I am ready to close this issue. For future questions on this topic is it possible to specifically specify your userid in order to request your assistance while opening a query/question ?

Not 100% on this.
I wonder if an EOF is being sent or if the socket is being closed by the remote server.
If neither of these happen, then the fgets() will sit there waiting until it can read all the bytes it has been asked to read.
If there is nothing coming down the pipe, then it just sits there.
You could prove this by fgets() 1 character at a time and echoing it.
See what is the last character you receive.
Compare that with what is happening in WireShark with regard to the communication (being closed).

I'm watching the SOAP topic area and I watch the PHP ones too. So if you have a question, I should see it. Others may answer it though. It's all good!
Ray Paseur is a top expert, so what he says would be good too. And we have different opinions on web services - he prefers RESTful interfaces. I prefer SOAP. Both have +ve/-ves. It'll be upto you to decide which you want/need.

Thankyou for providing a solution to this issue. Your explanations, support and response time were exceptionally good.
fgets() is a blocking call. If there is no data to read it waits.
fread() is the one to use.
But you won't be doing that now though, will you ... ;-)
Good question. Glad to have helped AND learn at the same time.

I'll use a tool called WSDL2PHP (available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsdl2php/ and look at RazorsEdgeUK's patches) to create a set of client classes which do all the hard lifting for you.
You can alter the time limit ...
set_time_limit(n);
where n = 0 === forever or some other value to represent seconds ...
set_time_limit(600); // 10 minutes.
But, getting a WSDL file should be VERY VERY quickly.
What version of PHP are you using? Hopefully V5.2+ (makes things a LOT easier if you are, compared to a V4). Ideally a V5.3+
